User:RoyBoy/WikiHistory

Found out about Wikipedia from somewhere, created an account immediately and my first edit was a rhetorical question to my talk page @ 17:44, 20 October 2004. By edit 1000 I was adding images to AdBusters. Edit #1307 (including this one) is when I found out about the edit counter, from Dbenbenn RfA comment. - RoyBoy [∞] 06:11, 11 Feb 2005 (UTC)
